FEI T ELEC TRIC

AS NOTED ON page 35,Costco carries a variety ofLED lights for your home.One new light I am excitedto offer to members is theFeit Electric LED utilityshop light. If you have afluorescent shop light, the improvement isimmediately noticeable.

Unlike fluorescent fixtures, with energy-efficient LED lighting there is no warm-up
time, no humming noises and the light does
not flicker. The shatterproof light uses only 38
watts, but produces 3700 lumens of brightness
(equivalent to two 40w fluorescent lamps that
use 88 watts). The 47-inch-long fixture comes
fully assembled, with a plug-in cord, reflector
plate and hanging wire harness. The light can
also be flush or under-cabinet mounted.

The $39.99 price represents a 20 percent
savings over comparable fixtures without a
reflector plate. Item #858582. Available in
the warehouse and as a two-pack on
Costco.com. C
